Mad Dog 357 Ghost Hot Sauce Review

Tara — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:48:56 +0000

It’s hard to ignore a bottle of hot sauce with an intense hologram on its label. It’s even harder to over look it once your read the text (text that is set over silver, reflective skulls I might add) on the side of the bottle and its sweet nothings become imprinted in your brain: “Ever seen a ghost? One taste of Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce and you will – your own!” This ghost pepper edition boasts a full, hearty flavor that tastes of pine and has a sweet smell that doesn’t overpower your dining experience. After tentatively dousing a baked sweet potato in the thick, syrupy sauce, my first coated bite revealed a serving of heat that was both immediate and all encompassing in flavor. The sweet taste filled my mouth, and my dinner date deemed the sauce simply “physically hot” in its nature. The sauce itself is an opaque liquid that pours smoothly and would make a solid addition to any secret family chili recipe or mixed into the meat filling for a batch of Sloppy Joes.

Bottom line: Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce brings something to the table besides just spice. While I didn’t find this Mad Dog creation all that scary, you can bet that I’d be willing to come back from beyond the grave and haunt my own mother to satisfy my 357 fix.

Top 10 Pepper Extracts

Chris — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 00:00:01 +0000

The key ingredient to Pepper Extracts is capsaicin and can be obtained only from chile peppers and in not any other plant, animal, or mineral. Detectable to the human taste buds to one part in one million, this formidable alkaloid is extracted from hot chiles as an oleoresin (thick oil) used in super hot sauces, pepper sprays and pepper extracts. Pure capsaicin is so potent that chemists who handle the crystalline powder need to work in a filtered “tox room” in full body protection. The suit has a closed hood in order to avoid breathing in the powder.

Hottest Hot Sauce – Scoville Scale for Worlds Hottest Hot Sauces

Chris — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 13:36:18 +0000

People are constantly asking what are the world’s hottest hot sauces for 2012 so we put together the list of the hottest hot sauces ever created. If you are a hot sauce lover then chances are you have heard of the Scoville scale and know how it is used. But for the newcomers to the love of hot sauce, it is interesting to note how hot sauces are rated and how hot they really can get.

The Scoville scale is a measurement of the spicy heat (or piquance) of a chili pepper. It is named after its creator, American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville. His method, devised in 1912, is known as the Scoville Organoleptic Test. The number of Scoville heat units (SHU) in a particular pepper indicates the amount of capsaicin present. What is Capsaicin? It is a chemical compound that stimulates chemoreceptor nerve endings in the skin, especially the mucous membranes.

Have you ever eaten a really hot pepper and all of a sudden your nose starts running and your eyes tears up? Well that is the effects of the level of capsaicin in that pepper. Some of the manufacturers have retired some of the sauces because they were a one-time edition but anything in RED you can still purchase is in stock here at InsaneChicken.com.

357 Mad Dog Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce Review

Ammond — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 00:38:15 +0000

It’s almost Halloween time fellow Chili Heads!

It’s time for a spooky rendition of a very old recipe, namely called (in many circles) HOT SAUCE! Insane Chicken.com has another great sauce for you to try…if you’re not too scared or intimidated by it. It’s a ghostly concoction that is guaranteed to fry the holiday demons (or other scary things) right out of you!

“Say hello to my little friend!”

Mad Dog

357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce

“It’s scary hot”

I gotta say, “I love this label!” Anything that has Ghost pepper in the label or the ingredients makes me happy. As I look at the ingredients that happiness changes quickly to one I closely relate to our upcoming festive Holiday–Halloween…that is FEAR!!. Okay, first ingredient, vinegar. Surprise! Okay, quick question, who was really surprised? But the second ingredient…Pepper Extract, then a little cane juice, then comes the Ghost Pepper/Bhut Jolokia! And if that wasn’t enough they throw in Habanero peppers and Peri Peri Peppers or also known as the African Birds Eye Pepper. Some varieties of African Birds Eye Peppers measure up to 175,000 on the Scoville Scale. That’s hot! There are four hot ingredients in this sauce and this scares the H-E-double-hockey-sticks right out of me. I’ll say right now it’s going to be “Atomic”

The elixir, uh, I mean hot sauce looks very smooth in texture. There are no seeds that I can see. It has a nice brownish/red color that would definitely appeal to me if poured out on some enchiladas. I say this of course before I have actually tried the sauce. Remember, as of yet, I am not telling you to do so, just that it might appear to me as a delicious addition to a fine Mexican dish.

As I wrestle with the wrapper I can’t help but ask myself, “What did I do that was so bad today that I might deserve this?” I open the bottle and take a whiff. There is so much spice to the smell it caused me to give a quick cough. I take a smaller breath and find that there is a sweet smoky smell, but I don’t smell the Jolokia pepper. Bummer! I love that fruity smell. So I pour some out on a spoon. It’s thick and brown…kind of like mud.

I can taste a brief moment of something sweet and then the heat attacks like I just stuck my tongue in a vat of boiling plastic! The hiccups come and try to recue me from the brute assault that is being handed to my mouth at this point but fail to relieve the pain. My mouth has begun to burn on the inside and out. I have never understood that. It’s not like I smeared this all over my lips, but yet here I am to tell you…THEY BURN BABY! So, back to talking about the flavor–this sauce is too hot to taste! It may have a wonderful flavor, but it is hard for me to get past the heat—and the taste of extract. Also, as it turns out, it has a gritty texture, not smooth as originally thought. I suggest when you make chili, just wave the bottle over the pot. (Just joking!) This would work well for chili. I think the sweet, smoky flavor that I imagine is there (from the smell), underneath the heat, would compliment it perfectly.

So, in conclusion, I would give this sauce a 5 out of 5 for having that “atomic” heat and a 3 out of 5 for flavor. As for the label it would definitely be a 5 out of 5. It is creative, humorous and worth reading. So don’t be afraid, have a safe holiday and this is “Atomic Eh?” asking you to

Keep it Hot and Keep it Spicy.

Enjoy!

Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce – Whereas, there are some hot sauces that are darn near too hot for their own good (or yours); and whereas, humans’ taste receptors are located on their tongues; and whereas, some of those wicked-hot hot sauces make it hard to review because a single drop placed on the tongue burns said appendage so badly the reviewer cannot taste much of anything, let alone breathe without hiccupping; therefore, let it be known that this reviewer will do his best to provide not only a sense of how Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce tastes, but also ways it can be consumed without causing injury.

If you’ve been on this site for any length of time, you probably know by now that the “ghost pepper” (bhut jolokia) is officially listed as being the world’s hottest pepper. So you know a hot sauce with “Ghost Pepper” in its name is going to be very hot. But what if the sauce also included fiery habaneros and scorching peri peri peppers, and had lethal chile extract listed as the second ingredient? You’d probably have a hot sauce that could be classified as a concealed weapon if you went out in public with a bottle in your pocket. Such is the case with Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce. This is one insanely incendiary sauce.

Aside from stinging pain, the first taste sensation you get from Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper is vinegar, listed as the first ingredient. With a sauce this hot, it’s pointless to go for sweet, so the wise folks at Mad Dog kept the recipe simple, with a focus on the peppers. Evaporated cane juice, garlic, onions, and spices round out the flavorings and, needless to say, do nothing to temper the temperature of the brew.

After my first taste, I knew I couldn’t use this as a condiment for my plate of grilled chicken thighs. So I decided to spike my ketchup with it. A single drop in a tablespoon or two of ketchup is a very hot affair, but at least it’s edible. In fact, it adds quite a nice bite. Again, apart from the heat, most of what you’ll get from the sauce is vinegar, so grilled foods, French fries, even something like a taco salad will benefit from a little Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce. The good thing about having to use it sparingly is that it will last a long time. But its super hotness is not a gimmick; there’s real flavor and gastronomic utility in this bottle. But first you have to dare to open it.

Mad Dog 357 Collector’s Edition Review

Carl — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 01:00:45 +0000

Mad Dog 357 Collector’s Edition – What a great concept. There’s a 357 bullet keychain as a gift with this bottle. What also comes with the bottle is a lengthy disclaimer and basically a contract saying you won’t hold the company responsible if you hurt yourself. That’s because Mad Dog 357 Collector’s Edition is 600,000 Scoville units on the Scoville heat index. It’s made with 6 million Scoville pepper extract. What that means is really quite simple — this is a weapon in the wrong hands. Really, you can seriously hurt yourself. I knew that was going to be the case before I even tried it, so I was prepared. I was prepared and I still hurt myself. Not bad, but enough to cause a short period of discomfort.

All I used was two drops. I put those two drops on a spoon and tasted it. I had bread and lime juice handy. The blister appeared shortly after contact. The burn was instantaneous. The bread and lime juice didn’t help.

There’s chile extract (I already told you where that measures on the Scoville heat index), habanero peppers (known for their heat), and 160,000 Scoville cayenne peppers (and that’s hot for a simple cayenne). Those are the pepper factors. Take a look at the combination and I believe you can see where the danger comes in.

Other ingredients include evaporated cane juice, garlic, and onion, none of which means anything. Those flavors are lost in the heat. Mad Dog 357 Collector’s Edition can be used, sure, but in such small quantities that it will take you a lifetime to go through the bottle. I wouldn’t recommend anyone seriously use this to flavor food.

What I do think, though, is that any heat lover should grab a bottle of Mad Dog 357 Collector’s Edition for his shelf. The bottle is cool, the bullet keychain rocks, and really, it’s an all-around neat thing to have.

If you do feel the need to try it, understand what you’re letting yourself in for. This isn’t going to be pleasant. It will hurt. It will burn and hurt beyond belief. It’s as simple as that. Keep it away from kids and anyone who doesn’t understand the sheer force of pepper extract, especially at this level of madness. It ain’t called Mad Dog 357 for nothing.

Mad Dog 357 Review

357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce – Most hot sauces that are any hotter than Tabasco claim that they will make your mouth burn so much that you will be knocked on the floor. Most will, but only if you have a canker sore, or are recovering from oral surgery. Most are all talk and funny labels. They invoke burning buttholes and the fires of hell. As a result, they are great gifts. In addition, they are often tasty, and go-to sauces for chili-heads looking to spice up their pizza or eggs. However, they are not what they say they are. Not even close. They are not bottled hell-fire. They are merely a condiment.

Mad Dog 357 is the real deal. It has ruined many a half-hour period for me. It gives me a weird throbbing sensation in my ears. I’m not sure why I continue to eat it. I rarely enjoy it. I mostly eat some when I dare a friend to, and then feel like a sissy not following suit. I’ve played hot sauce roulette with this (mix different sauces with spreadable cheese and spread on crackers; sometimes you get a hot one). This game ends pretty suddenly for most participants. It’s only a matter of time until you get your first bite of 357 Hot Sauce.

There are multiple 357 versions of Mad Dog 357, including variations with ghost peppers, but the original 357 is by far the hottest. It will transform any food into a sport. You get great bang for your buck in this bottle. One drop is enough for many uses.

One thing that’s true of Mad Dog’s entire line is that their sauces’ heat is backed by some serious flavor. 357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce is complex. Most of this complexity comes from the range of different heats this packs, some more sharp and others a more dull burn. If this sauce wasn’t so darn hot, it would be a good candidate for every day spicing-up of food.

Buy this bottle of 357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce to impress other chili heads and to push yourself to limit. You will be a better person as a result. At the very least, your bones will be stronger, given the huge amounts of milk you’ll have to drink along with it.

Carl — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:44:17 +0000

Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce – This sauce has a lot going for it right out of the gate. First, there’s the naga jolokia pepper that gives it insane heat. One little bead of this sauce on the tip of your finger will have your lips and mouth burning like a match in dry brush. To augment that heat, there’s also the African peri-peri pepper, some fresh habanero, and chili extract. Are you starting to get the picture? This is a mouth blister waiting to happen, so be careful when you use it.

Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce lulls you into a sense of peace when you open it and take a whiff. The fruity fragrance leads you to believe that you’re in the company of a mild sauce. It’s a ghost pepper sauce, so you should know better, but there’s that sweet and fruity fragrance.

The fruity fragrance isn’t entirely off the mark. The first thing you get when you taste this sauce is a sweet note. That can be attributed to the evaporated cane juice. The sweetness is quickly overcome by the fire, but the sweet never truly disappears. It’s that sweet flavor in conjunction with the explosive pepper combination that makes this sauce so attractive. There’s some garlic, spices, and onion in here too, but those ingredients get lost between the heat and the sweet.

Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce makes a perfect additive to any kind of cheese sauce. It adds a healthy, flavorful kick to pizza too. Add it to cocktail sauce for a great shrimp complement, a bowl of chili, gumbo, or to any barbecue sauce. The flavor of Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce comes through regardless of the way you use it, and the heat never gets lost.

If you truly love heat, this is an excellent sauce to paint onto a good steak before you throw it on the grill. Make it a thin coating. The fire will cook the 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce onto the meat for a killer kick that you’ll feel in every bite. The flavor of the peppers and the sweet of the cane juice come through as well, delivering a savory grilled steak that you’ll enjoy. Be cautious and use this sauce wisely for a culinary treat you’ll want to experience again and again.

357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce Review

357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce – When this Mad Dog 357 is used, you don’t call the police, you call the fire department because 357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce is hot. You will need the fire department to put out the hot blazing inferno in your body.

Chile heat addicts—get ready to fall in love. You may not have thought that you could be in love with a 357, but that’s when you thought it was a gun. This Mad Dog 357 is a hot sauce with 357,000 Scoville units.

Just smelling 357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce could set your nose on fire. You will smell vinegar and a slight habanero smell as heat burns your nasal passage. If you take a tiny taste, you will taste a bit of sweetness from the evaporated cane sugar. You will also taste habaneros and vinegar. There is a slight taste of garlic and onion. There is almost a raison taste, though there’s nothing in the ingredient list to suggest why.

But it’s the heat, not the flavor, that you will remember from this sauce. The heat comes from not just habaneros (in case they weren’t enough) but also from chile extract and 160,000 Scoville units cayenne peppers. It’s a hot heat that lingers for a long time. 357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce is truly designed for chile addicts and not for everyone. The bottle makes this clear by having warning labels on the side of the bottle, things like “This product is to be used at my own risk” and “I fully understand the potential danger if used or handled improperly.”

Despite the labels, there’s always some doofus who wants to show off. Though we warned him, an acquaintance poured a strip of 357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce on a sandwich without trying it first. He bit into the sandwich and ran screaming out of the room.

The warnings are just part of the label. The front of the label makes it appear that you are looking down the barrel of a 357 gun that is surrounded by bullet holes, saying, “This sauce will blow you away.” This serious image is broken by Mad Dog, a cute cartoon dog in a chef hat.
